Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., THE MASTER OF MARTON. "There is a great deal to admire in ' The Master of Marton.' It is well written, and it has an interesting plot.

The start was delayed some time through the restiveness of Kate Hampton, who refused to face her horses. When they got away Iteginella, on the left, made play, closely at tended by Pantaloon, and on the extreme right by Gladia• teur and Joker, close up with whom were Solitaire, Heir at-Law, and Verderer. They retained their positions until they came to the cords, where Gladiateur came out, and with Joker at his girths finished a good race home, the former winning rather clev,rly at last by a length; Joker, defeat int); Pantaloon by half a length for second; lteginella was fourth, close up; then came, nearly abreGs*, Heir-at-Law, Solitaire, and Ostregor. Don Basilio and Newcourt were the last two. HOME MISSIONS AND LAY AGENCY. The Rev. Canon WNEILE read a paper on this subject, in which he considered the reasons why they should have home missions, and also how they should be conducted. He said we had up to the present day no regularly consti tuted Church of England missionary societies, although they certainly had missionary societies, and he expressed a belief that had such existed:dissent might not have arisen to its present condition. The clergy were not numerous enough for the people, and their work must be supple minted in some way. Innovations had drawn many from the Church, and to recover these home missions of some sort were inaispcnsable. It was a mistake to spe,ek against it. To expect that thousands of their fellow creatives, who were living without God in the s orld, were to be re claimed by ritualism or psalmody, or by exhibitions of bodily austerity, or by brotherho do —(loud applause) —or by anything except by preaching the word of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, appeared to be a great and grave mis take. He suggested that diocesan preachers should be appointed to preach in rooms and in the open air; that short services, compiled by authority, should be used ; and lay readers, not only stipendiary but voluntary, should be authorisel. They should not lose the help of enthusiasts. Fas cat 41 , haste doceri. The Roman Catholics took every advantage of this enthusiasm. The Rev. Mr BARNSLEY (London) spoke highly of the value of lay agency, which he illustrated by facts that had come under his own observation. Mr RAYMOND and another speaker closed the discussion.

The heath did not present so crowded an appearance this morning as the fine weather and the interest of the occasion led us to expect. We were not ridden down by the irregular Cambridge cavalry as on the Two Thourand day, nor over whelmed by a flood of Cockneydom as has been the case on former anniversaries. There was room and to spare, and the day was more enjoyable in consequence. The betting underwent some fluctuations before the start, Gratitude displacing Mail Train from the position of first favourite, Charmian and Planet being also backed for some money. There was little or no delay at the post, which, considering that 29 horses faced the starter on this occasion, is deserving of praise. The start, too, was an admirable one, and as they came through the ditch, and the colours were first discerned from the Stand, the cry of " they are all together," broke simultaneously from many lips. But the tailing soon began, and when they reached the bushes Gratitude and Thalestria seemed to single themselves out from the crowd, and struggled home up the trying hill, young Grimahaw on Thalestris sticking pertinaciously to the favourite, .and landing Lord .Coventry's colours by a short head. Mail Train going well up to the bushes tried to bolt in among the crowd at that point, and extinguished his chance then and there. The Calista colt was about tho first beaten in the race. The Clearwell was carried off cleverly by the French colt Gladiateur. The other events call for ao particular com ment.

After they had taken their preliminary canter, they pro ceeded to the starting-post, attended by a large cavalcade of horsemen. At the first attempt Mr M'George was enabled to despatch them to an excellent start. The Brewer, after running a few strides, took a decided lead, lying in the centre of the course, having Planet, the Calista colt, Thalestris, and the favourite on his right, with Mail Train, Cathedral, Beatrix, Tomato, and Ackworth on the -lower ground, the next division being brought up by Dr Syntax, Joco, Beaver, Lady Hylda and Suspicion. They ran thus at a strong pace through the ditch, but as they entered the flat Brewer somewhat improved his lead, and the rearward horses began to spread, and shortly after Blackdown, Holy Poly, Charming Woman, and Despair were hopelessly tailed off, their numbers being increased by the retirement of the Calista colt and Auricula. The leaders came on nearly in the line to the new ground, where Brewer was beaten, and the lead was at once taken up byThalestris,who with Grati tude on the right came on is advance to the " bushes," where they singled themselves out, and on descending the hill were two or three lengths in advance of Mail Train, on the far side, close up with whom were Planet, Ackworth, and Cathedral. Half-way down Mr W. Day's colt ran out, and it was with extreme difficulty that S. Adams could keep him straight, and he was passed as they entered the dip by Planet and Ackworth, the latter heading Mr Craven's colt as they entered the cords, but without having a chance of reaching the two, who raced for the lead into the cords, where Gratitude got her head in front, but dying away at every stride, Grimshaw was enabled once again to resume his lead, and Thalestris, running with wonderful gameness, won on the post by a short head ; three quarters of a length separated the second and third; Mail Train was fourth, Planet filth, Beatrix sixth, Tomato seventh, Dr Syntax eighth,and Cathedral next. Then came, at wide intervals, Lady Hylda, Beaver, and Suspicion. The last lot com prised Auricula, the Calista colt, Despair, Charmin g Woman, and Holy Poly.

None of our metropolitan improvements have over been carried forward with less waste of time than those connected with the great bridges at Blackfriars. Only 16 months have elapsed since the foundation stone of the railway bridge was laid, and already it is completely finished to its least details. Never has a new bridge been built across the Thames in a shorter time. Only four months ago old Blackfriars-bridge was closed and given up to the contractors, Messrs. Thorn and Co., yet already all the superincumbent mass of rubble and masonry above the turning of the arches —nearly 20,00 tons in weight—has been removed, the centerings fixed beneath the arches, and this very day the work of pulling down the arches themselves will be begun by the removal of the keystone from the second arch on the Surrey side. In another four months the foundation stone of the new structure is spoken of as to be laid with formal ceremonial, and in two years from that date again the public may look forward to the opening of the completed work, which will have no superior and few equals of its kind in Europe. It is a curious fact, and one worthy of note, that with the cone pletion of new Blackfriars - bridge every metropolitan bridge across the Thames will have been built within the last 50 years, and no less th ‘n seven, including railway bridges, within the last six years. Three more for railways are pro • greasing fast, and these, with the proposed opening of Southwark-bridge to the public toll free, will give facilities enough for transpoatine communication from every point, whether by road or rail. The railway bridge which has just been finished is the finest work of that kind which we have yet got across the river, and but for the close proximity of now Blackfriars, which destroys its outline from the water it would really be a grand ornament to the Thames. Un like that at Victoria, where ceremony was studied at the expense of effect, or that at Hungerford, where the exigencies of railway traffic had to be reconciled to the architecture of a light suspension bridge, Blackfriars enjoys the advantage of having been designed for its work from the outset, and no one can look at its massive groups of columns and the bold yet light superstructure of girders which they carry without feeling that Messrs. Cubitt and Turner, its architects and engineers, have been singularly happy in their choice of its design. In the course of a few weeks more, when its columns are painted of a deep chocolate colour, and their capitals enriched with gilding, when the ornamental castings which conceal the junction of the girders ere painted with enamel and gilded iu parts, the general tfrect will be even more considerably heightened. There aro few, however, when these two fine structures are completed, N%1A , .., wilt iwt ic,,ict the unlucky fatality which placed them just so far apart as to prevent their being united in one, and yet just EO close together as to hide each other and bring their inharmonious lines into the most unsightly conjunction possible. This unlucky juxtaposition of sites seems to be Mr Cubitt's engineering fate. At Rochester ho was obliged to build his railway bridge in such a position as to quite destroy the effect of his father's beautiful steno bridge across the Medway. Now, at Blackfriars, he is obliged to put his rail viaduct so as to completely kill new Blackfriars, which is also his own. The fatality at Rochester was called parricidal, but this at Blackfriars is suicidal, and nothing less. During the progress of the works connected with this bridge full accounts from time to time were given in our columns of its method and general principles of construc tion. It is not necessary, therefore, to re-enter upon a de tailed description here, more than to say that the bridge is a girder bridge for four lines of rails. Only three girders are used, that in the centre, having to bear the weight and strain of all the cross beams from both the outer girders which meet upon it, being made in proportion much deeper and stronger. The lattice bars of iron which form the open work sides of these girders are made to resist alternately compression and tension. The tension rods,if we may so call them, are mere bands of wrought iron, but the struts to resist compression may bekno wn by their great solidity,and by each pair being coupled together with powerful iron stays to keep them rigid and prevent them yielding outwardly under the pressure which always tries wrought iron so severely. These bracings are made to intersect each other everywhere at their points, so that in case of an engine getting off the rails and cutting one it would have no effect on the stability of the structure, a great improvement on some other glider bridges, where there are no intersections of the struts and ties, and where a similar accident happening would infalli bly bring down the whole span. Every part of the iron work which is exposed to the action of the air has been so placed as to be easily painted by the most ordinary hand labour, while the troughs of the girders have been thickly lined with asphalte, so that the slightest chance of rust is carefully guarded against. The latter is an all - important precaution, for rust eats faster into wrought iron structures than most people would readily believe. This year, it is said, no less than 40 tons of iron rust were taken out of the Menai tubular bridge at one thorough cleaning. The whole of this superstructure of floor and girders is carried on groups of cast iron columns, each group of four carrying a-girder. These castings are built on solid well masonry on the inside, and rest on massive stone pillars, which are carried down on an average of 35ft below the bed of the river, and deep into the London clay. The bridge has been virtually completed for some weeks, and nothing now delays its opening but the works connected with its passen ger station in Bridge-street. Of course, before being used, it will be formally t ested for strength by the Gov ernmen t inspectors. The greate st load which can be pl ace d upon i t, if filled from end to e nd on its four lines of rail with locomotives and tenders, would be short of 1,000 tons, or at the rate of about five tons weight to each sectional inch of iron. As, however, there are 176 sectional inches of wrought iron in the united girders, w hi c h have been tested to 22 tons per inch, it f o ll ows t h at the bridge is more than four times stronger even than ithe excessive weight will be accumulated on it for testing. The expansion and contraction is provided f or i n eac h girder separately, eight inches in total length of the bridge being the greatest difference between excessive cold and ex cessive heat—not more than the difference in the Menai bridge, which is only about half its length. The rest of the works on the Middlesex side are being hurried forward towards completion with all possible ra • pidity, but it will be well on towards Christ mas b e f ore th e public can be admitted t o their facilities. The viaduct across Ludgate-hill is intended to be tho ha n d somest of its kind ever built. That it will be highly ornamental may be judged from the fact that whereas the mere inner iron bridge itself only costs £9OO, its decoration and internal ornaments in iron will cost £2,500. The space between th e permanen t way and the floor of this viaduct is to be carefully filled in with a substance lige tan, eo as to completely silence to those beneath and around all sound of th e p ass i ng t ra i ns . A comfort so obvious as this latter precaution en sures might, one would think, have been guaranteed by the Legislature in the case of all metropolitan viaducts, and not have been left to the spontaneous thoughtfulness of even the Chatham and Dover Company. In justice, however, we are bound to say that this line, both in its bridges and stations, has set an excellent example to other companies entering the metropolis. With regard to the City bridge at Blackfriars the work has, as we have said, advanced very rapidly. It is just about a century since the old bridge was built,and little more than a quarter of a century since it has been daily threatening to tumbled down. Any corporation more sanely governs than our own would have replaced this tumour obstacle with a safe structure long ago. .As it is we mu s t on l y b e gra t e f u l for the lucid interval which has permitted its demolition be- fore it fell, traffic, passengers, and all, into the river. Since it has been given into the contractors' hands everything has been removed but the actual masonry of the turned arches themselves, The spaces between the springing of the arches and the roadway.above appear to have been filled with river ballast, to judge from the quantity of bones and old fashioned tobacco pipes found in it. The work, however, appears to have been everywhere well performed, though the masonry of the arches is thinner than one would sup pose from an external inspection of the stonework. An en graving is extant which represents with wonderful power the process of building this bridge in 1760, and the aspect which it then wore is almost identically similar with its ap pearance at this day. If the three-cornered cocked hats of the labourers were suppressed and steam cranes substituted for hand jocks this old engraving might pass easily for a picture of the present works. The presence of steam cranes, however, makes an important and most suggestive altera tion. Old Blackfriars-bridge took ten years to build. It will take less than a year to remove it to its last foundations and less than two to substitute in its place another double its size, strength, and beauty. In some cases, where the stonework occupies the site or part of the site of the foun dations for the new structure, every part of the old bridge must be removed at these particular places, and must be quite done away with before the new one can be begun. In other places, however. where the new piers cattle in the centre of the water way of the old arches, the work of re moval and reconstruction can proceed simultaneously. The scaffolding which now intersects the bridge like a high back bone of timber will, as the work of demolition proceeds, be carried down through the arches into the bed of the river, and form the staging with which the erection of the new work will be carried on. As far as can be jadged, there is no reason to doubt but that the same cause which destroyed Westminster has been fatal to Blackfriars—namely, the re moval of old London-bridge, which so largely increased the downward scour of the ebb tide. Every bridge then built —that is to say. Vauxhall, Blackfriars, and Westminster —suffered more or less from this cause. The completion of the Thames Embankment is not likely to be without effect, and from the same cause, on some of the older structures. The downward scour is certain to be very greatly increased by such an important diminution of the river's breadth, from Whitehall to close on Waterloo. Already those con netted with the bridge works at Blackfriars can observe an increase in the scour, which has removed much of the mud and laid bare the gravel on many parts of the Surrey side. While on the subject of bridge communication, we may congratulate the public on the prospect afforded them of having the use of Southwark-bridge toll free. This struc ture, with its approaches, was completed and opened in 1819, at a total cost of £660,000. The new bridge could now probably be built for less than half what it then cost, though, on the other hand, there is not the slightest doubt but that the approaches at the present day would cost more then the whole of the original work, It is nee - less to say that this work has never paid its promoters, who have now accordingly offered its use to the city for six months, toll free, trusting, like Sam Slick with the clocks, that by the end of that time they will have got used to its facilities and so convinced of its utility, if not necessity, as to leave them no optkn but its purchase. The sum which the shareholders ask for the sale of the bridge at the expiration of the six months being only £200,000, makes this a very tempting offer, and one with which the city authorities would do well to close. The bridge. though entirely of cast iron, is im mensely strong, and like all well kept structures of that metal, is as good now as the day it was opened. At all events, the six months' trial which the city would have would give their engineers ample opportunities of seeing _that all was perfect before the bargain was concluded. In the interests of the public we certainly hope that the com mittee will give the bridge a trial, and that the bridge it self may come out of it with sufficient credit to justify its being given to the public for the moderate sum asked for it. The Church Congress, BRISTOL, Tuesday. The Bristol Church Congress was opened this afternoon, the members and a large number of visitors attending Divine service at the cathedral in the morning. Ihe doors of the venerable edifice were besieged at an early hour, and soon after they were opened every part of what is left of the cathedral, the chair, transepts, aisles, and even the elevated clerestory were crowded with male and female occupants. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, Archdeacon Thorpe, and Canon Guthrie were among the dignitaries of the cathedral present. The sermon was preached by the Dean of Ely, who took for his text Luke x., part of v. 37, "Go and do," On this brief text tho very rev, preacher spoke eloquently and practically on the objects of tho congress, in the course of which he expressed his approval of the migratory character of the congress, and alluded to the progress that had been made in science, social economy, medical jurisprudence and Practice. and are! a33logv. bytheholdixgof these miaratorY meetings. He did not sec why religion should not receive a stimulus by the same means. In conclusion he alluded to the numerous subjects which it was proposed to discuss at the present congress—extension of the episcopate, sub division of dioceses, the education of the clergy, pews, and open seats, &c.—and condemned the recent changes in cathedral management. He concluded by enjoining tem perance in their discussions. At two o'clock meetings were held simultaneously in two rooms at the Victoria Rooms, Clifton. OPENING MEETING. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER and BRISTOL presided in the section No. 1, and after offering up prayers delivered a brief inaugural address, observing that the congress had been so ably and eloquently inaugurated by the sermon preached in the cathedral that morning that ho had little to add to what had been so well said by the Dean of Ely. Having laid down certain rules which he proposed to enforce for the regulation of the discussions, he said he hoped as little interruption as possible would be given by marks of approbation, and that disapprobation would be shown not by audible sound but by silence on the part of the auditory. INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE. The Rev. Canon KENNAWAY read a paper on this sub ject'. He urged that the increasing population of the coun try demanded that there should be au increase of the epis copate. Glancing at the history of the episcopacy he specially regretted that the confirmation of the young was imperfectly performed by reason of this deficiency, and urged that suf fragans might be appointed or dioceses subdivided. The Rev. Prebendary MACKARNESS also read a short paper on the same subject, urging the appointment of suffragans, and suggesting that convocation might define their duties. The Rev. Prebendary BELCHER followed, and said no help wasto be expected from the Government, who had re fused to consider the case of the Exeter diocese recently brought before them. Mr BERESPORD HOPE said that what he had argued at Oxford and London on this subject traversed other ground, but there was nothing in what he had advanced contradic tory to what had been put before the meeting by Canon Kennaway and Prebendary Mackarness. He agreed with Canon Kennaway that the see of London should not be severed, but he would step on the cis ponteni side of the river. Let them have a bishopric of Southwark at St. Saviour's, and let them relieve the bishops from the slavery of reading pray:rain the House of Lords, and depute the duty to the officials of Westminster Abbey. The Rev. J. W. BAMFIELD presented the case of our sailors and marines. There were 376,000 men in our navy and merchant service without a bishop over them. Was it possible to extend episcopal p Aver to the sea? The Rev. Mr. RAY hoped the subject would bo taken up by some one competent to the task. The Earl of HARROWBY said the difficulty to him in the matter appeared to be, not to make out a case for the in crease of the episcopacy, but a good case against that in crease. A small number of bishops years ago were con sidered sufficient for a small population ; but with increased population they wanted an increase of officers of the Church, and, if they valued bishops at all, they must increase their number according to the wants of the age. In a discussion which had taken place in Parliament it had been said by one of the speakers that the bishop of his diocese had not more to do than he could do ; but what was wanting was men who would find something to do. It had been said in one of these discussions that a bishop, in answer to the argument for an increase in their number in order to get through the work,had said he had no correspondence to do; whereas the fact turned out to be that he had been in the habit of never replying to the letters addressed to him, an d consequently his correspon dents ceased writing—Ca laugh). It was a bishop's duty to make business in his diocese by active superintendence of its affairs. He should look round his diocese, see what was wanting to be done, and do it. There were divers ways of carrying out the idea of increasing the episcopate, and for his part he would not say which was the preferable plan to adopt. He be lieved the object might be effected both by the plan of suf fragans and subdivision of dioceses. He had always said, "Let each county have its bishop ;" and he thought ine quality of area was rather a recommendation to this plan than not. What, for instance, could be more natural for a retreat for the Bishop of Lawn, after his heavy labours, than to retire on the Bis ho p ric of Oakum? laugh.) H e hoped that his noble friend Lord Lyttelton, whom he saw beside him, would not be disheartened by the difficulties which he had met with in this matter, but that he would set his shoulder to the wheel again in the House of Lords, and then, no doubt, with a few more congresses like this, they would be able to work against that apathy which had hitherto prevailed. The Rev. Mr BEAMAN recommended the adoption of a petition to Parliament on the subject Irmo the present con gress ; and The Right Rev, PRESIDENT, having briefly reviewed the SYNODS OF THE CHURCH AND RURAL DEANS AND DECANAL CHAPTERS. These subjects were set down for the sectional meeting in the small ball-room, which was filled to overfl9wing— P. .S. Miles, Esq., presiding. Prayers having been read by the Rev. J. T. Ludlow, The CHAIRMAN said they could not expect on an occa sion like this, where all parties in 'the Church were repre- Bente, that perfect unanimity would exist, but he did hope that the different speakers would be listened to with atten tion, and that due regard would be paid to the remarks they were pleased to make, and no disturbance ensue. He called attention to the rule, which he thought of great im portance, that the duration of the speeches should be limited, a rule, he thought, which would be very salutary on other occasions as well as this. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Prebendary TnEvon then read a paper "On Synods of the Church." He said that when the visible Church of Christ was described in the 19th Article as a congregation of faithful men, in which the pure Word of God should be preached and the sacrament duly ad ministered, it implied the existence of a power to determine what was requisite and reforming what was amiss ; while the 25th Article held that the power to declare rites and ceremonies resided in the Church itself, and not in any extraneous authority. The Church was spoken of as a corporate body, capable of doing right or wrong, and responsible for its actions; but he contended that without some kind of representative assembly this was impos sible. Such assemblies were to communities what con science was to individuals. They could never accept the political assembly and the state tribunal in place of the synod. In the earliest form of ecclesiastical government the bishop possessed little authority apart from his clergy, , and the diocesan synod was the most consistent element of the Church. He adverted to the constitution of convoca tion, and said it had advanced as far as it could advance, and was an imperfect mode of representation. He warmly advocated the revival of diocesan synods, and argued that an episcopate without a synod was not Scriptural. Ho contended that diocesan assemblies should include all the licensed priests of the diocese, and was about to point out the importance of admitting the laity to the synods when time was called by the chairman, and the rev. gentleman had to resume his seat, The Rev. T. Lathbury, of Bristol, followed, contending that ecclesiastical matters could only properly be settled in ecclesiastical assemblies. He contended that, in asking for the revival of synodical action they were asking for nothing new or nothing contrary to law. The Rev. A. H. LEE next read a paper on the past and present state of synodical action in Ireland. The Rev. Dr PUSEY, who was greeted with lout cheers, advocated the revival of synodical action, more especially in view of the recent judgment of the Privy Council. The Venerable Archdeacon Denison, the Rev. Keevil, and the Right lion. J. Napier also spoke in favour of the revival of synos. The Arclr!eacon of ELY then read a piper on "Rural Deans and Decanal Chapters," and was followed by the Rev. Prebendary Mayne, and congress adjourned at five o' clock. HEALTH OF LONDON.

Ii the dea.lll from epidemic cholera in the fortieth week of 1854 are excluded, it will b 3 found that the average number of deaths in corresponding weeks of ten years, 1864.63, was 1,085, and if this result be corrected for increase of population, it becomes 1,193. The deaths registered last week are, there. fore, 70 in excess of the estimated number. Scarlatina was fatal to 80 persons ; in the pre. vious week 95 deaths were recorded from this disease; it prevails more especially in El;Ttford. Seven deaths were caused by smallpox, 35 by measles, 20 by diphtheria, and 55 by typhus. reg O is a t e er h e u d nd )an rd nd forty d e lB a 4pe fo rs r ons de d a ie ths from dfromopthhieli r i d si i s were s of the respiratory organs. The wife of a carman, aged 65 years, died from pemphigus. A photographer committed suicide by taking cyanide of potassium. Last week the births of 997 boys and 899 girls, in all 1,896 children, were registe►e3 in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854- 63 the average number (corrected) was 1,798. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.043 in. The barometrical reading was 30.19 in, on Monday, and decreased to 29.90 on Wednesdays The mean temperature of the air in the week was 49 7 deg., which is 3.0 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 62.4 deg. on Fri day. The lowest night temperature was 37.5 deg. on Thursday. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 24.9 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Themes was 56.8 deg. ; that of the lowest was 51.6 deg. The difference between the mean dew point tempe• rature and air temperature was 9.2 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 71, com plete saturation being represented by 100. The general direction of the wind was east and east north-east. The births registered in Dublin during the week ending Oct. 8 were 142 and the deaths were 82, in a population of 254,808 (1861), spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. 18,008 persons died in London during the quarter which ended on Saturday, Oct. 1. In the corre sponding quarters of the years 1860.63 the numbers of the deaths registered were 12,916, 14,932, 15,133, and 17,105 respectively. Zymotic diseases were fatal to 6,421 persons, being more than a third part of the total number ; in the same period of 1863 the diseases classified under this head numbered 6,295. Dutra Cal, as usual at this season, caused the greatest mortality in this class, 2,080 persons dying from this disease ; the east and south districts suffered from it the most severely. Cholera was fatal to 130 persons, the majority being children. Small-pox caused 140 deaths, a number which contrasts favour • ably with that in the corresponding quarter of 1863, when 512 lives were lost by this scourge of the hu man race. Measles exhibits a large increase, causing 855 deaths; in the same period of last year the num ber was 221. The east districts show the greatest mortality from this disease ; it was particularly fatal at Poplar, Bow, Mile-end-old-town West, and in some parts of Bethnal-green. Scarlatina was par ticularly fatal at this season last year, causing 1,519 deaths; in the quarter now expired it caused 805 deaths; of this number 74 occurred in Westminster, and 24 in the sub-district of Belgrave, St. George, Hanover-square. Typhus carried off 980 persons, and visited with much severity the east and south districts of the metropolis. Phthisis destroyed 1,933 lives. The numbers of persons who died from this disease in the corre sponding quarters of 1860-6 3 were respectively 1,721, 1.765, 1,720, and 1,799.

Warde, C. 8., commanding at Wool wich, dtsirous of benefiting by the continuance of weather favourable for outdoor military exercises, yesterday assembled a large portion of the troops in garrison on Bostol-heath and Plumstead-common, consisting of two batteries of Horse Artillery, under the command of Col. Price, C. 8.; two batteries of the 4th brigade of Royal Artillery, under Col. An. derson, C.B. ;' two batteries of the 21 division De• pot, under Col. Middleton, C.B:; the brigade of Royal Marine Light Infantry, in two battalions, commanded by Col. Marriott and Capt. Bunce, and in chief command of Col. Travers, C.B. ; the sth Fusiliers, in command of Col. Master, C.B. ; one 40- pounder battery, and a detachment of the Military Train. They drew up at half-past 10 a.m. in two strong forces, each occupying a favourable position pointed out by Capt. Nangle, Deputy Assistant• Quartermaster. General to the garrison. On the firing of a signal gun, which was replied to by the opposing force, the batteries were put in motion, and a fierce cannonade commenced. The cavalry, followed by the infantry attached to the attacking force, made a gallant charge to capture the deep ravine separating the two armies, and after consi derable resistance it was victoriously carried. The proceedings represented as nearly as possible the operations of real warfare, and were most interest.. ing, lasting without intermission about three hours. The troops then returned to Woolwich-common, headed by their respective bands of music. The General and staff took up a position, and the whole of the troops marched past, and were dismissed to quarters, the General having previously expressed. himself well satisfied with what had taken place. Major-Gen. Lord William Paulet, C. 8., Lieut.- Governor of Portsmouth and general officer in coma mand of the district, yesterday inspected the 21st Regiment of Infantry, now stationed in that garri son. The regiment in the morning was inspected under arms on Southsea-common, and in the after noon in its quarters in Anglesea-barracks, Portses. _ _ The War bapartment steamer Balaclava, Mr W. Pellett commander, having shipped a full cargo of guns, carriages, shot, platforms, &c., for Devonport and Portsmouth, went down to the powder buoy off Woolwich Arsenal yesterday, and took in the comet plement of powder and ammunition for the supply of her Majesty's iron steamship Achilles at Devon:it port, Among her items of cargo the Balaclava shipped the 300. pounder smooth-bore gun which was injured iu the practice on board the gunnery ship Excellent, and sent to Woolwich to be re sighted and repaired. Four other guns of the same calibre, each having a rifled bore, are lying on the shipping wharf in Woolwich Arsenal, and are &stifled for her Mojesty's ship Scorpion. The Urgent, screw troopship, the arrival of which from Canada was announced in The Sun of yester• day, left Portsmouth, on her outward voyage, on the 16th of August, and arrived at Quebec on the 6th of September. She experienced a moderately fine . passage, but with heavy fogs off the banks of New foundland. From the 6th to the 16th of September was occupied in clearing up the ship, recziving the baggage and troops, and otherwise preparing for sea, the ship weighing her anchor again to come mence her voyage homeward on the last-named date. A course was laid for St. John, New Brunswick, to up there with coal, and that port was reached on the 21st, just in time to escape a strong gale from the westward, which detained the Urgent a prisoner in St. John's harbour until the 24th, when the weather moderated and the ship resumed her voyage. A moderately fair passage was experienced from St. John to within about 500 miles westward of the Channel. The very strong easterly gales were met with, which beat the Urgent's steaming powers, end corn. pelled Capt. Henderson to put the ship under sail and stand off until the weather moderated. On the Bth inst. the Urgent put into Falmouth for coal. She sailed thence on the following mornin6-, and arrived at Portsmouth, as already announced, yes., . _ terday morning. No deaths or sickness of any kind occurred during the voyage. The present has been the Urgent's first voyage since her refit and rear. rangement ander the direction of her present com mander and previous to commission, and it was gratifying to hear the officers and men speak in warm terms of the accommodation on board for themselves and their families, and of the attention they had received during the voyage. The Urgent with a sister vessel was built in a private yard to an order from the Russian Government, but on the approach of hostilities with that country she was taken possession of by the British Government, and the Admiralty, under the circumstances, had to utilize her in the best way they could. Being only of 1,961 tons and 400-horse power of engines, she could not be compared with nor expected to do the work of the Himalaya, of 3,453 tons and 700-horse power, bat she has always been a most useful vessel, and under new arrangements, introduced by Captain llenderson, or at his suggestion, pros mises to obtain a still higher character. The Lords of the Admiralty have at length de termined on making a small commencement towards the diminution of the number of old and useless ships of war which incumber the harbour of Hamoaze, and involve a constant outlay. The pad dle-wheel steam sloop Centaur, 6, is now at Keyham yard, where her engines and machinery of 450-horse power will be taken from her. She will then be conveyed to Devonport Dockyard, where a number of labourers have just been entered for the purpose of breaking her up. The Centaur was built at Portsmouth in 1845, on lines laid down by Sir William Simmonds. Her-burden is 1,270 tons. She is 200 feet long, 37 feet broad, and 23 feet deep. The usual annual examination of the machinery of the screw frigate Constance, 39, in Hamoaze, has just been completed, and she is now in all respects ready for the pennant. The establishment assigned to the officials cons nected with the steam reserve at Chatham and Sheerness having been found altogether inadequate for the rapidly increasing business connected with that department, the Admiralty have given dire°■ tions for a more commodious range of offices and buildings to be erected, and the work is now in progress by Messrs Foord and Sons, of Rochester, the Admiralty builders. The convict ship Porchester, Mr Dick master, sailed from Spithead yesterday for Portland and Gibraltar, after embarking 65 convicts frcm the Portsmouth Convict Prison. Dr Crawford, R.N., is the surgeon s uperintendent on board, and the guard is furnished by a detachment of the 22d Regiment, which will afterwards join the service companies of the regiment at Malta. In order to provide abundant caution, so es to prevent the occurrence of accidents in the shipment and discharge of ammunition, the following clauses in the War Department regulations were ordt red to be read yesterday crews of at Woolwich to the the ships in the Ordnance service :--4' When the ves sels are unloaded and not imratthattly wanted, the master, mate, and crew will he permitted in turns occasionally to be with their families, when the weather will allow ; but the steamers are never to be left without the master, or one mate, one engi neer, one stoker, and one boy ; nor is any person to absent himself without express permission from the senior officer of the military store department. Smoking is strictly prohibited, and any oue found with a lucifer or patent match in his possession will be immediately dismissed. ESTABLISHED 1837. t RI TANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANIC.
